It’s off-topic, but I can’t resist re-printing this blurb from the December 5, 2008 issue of The Week.

[It was a bad week for] a Chinese college student [who] climbed into a zoo pen so he could hug a panda bear. “Yangyang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him,” said the student from his hospital bed. “I didn’t expect he would attack. I don’t remember how many bites I got.”
